GAME TIME SET AS ASTORIA ENTERS PLAYOFFS
The Astoria Fishermen were not a big favorite heading into last year's state 3A baseball tournament. That will not be the case this season.
The 2nd-ranked Fishermen, who carry the longest winning streak in the state into the playoffs, will host the South Umpqua Lancers on Tuesday, May 11 at Ernie Aiken Field. First pitch is scheduled for 4:30 p.m.
The Lancers, coached by 26-year veteran Tom O'Malley, will be making their third consecutive appearance at the state tournament. South Umpqua (14-11 overall) finished second to Brookings-Harbor in the Far West League after winning the league in 2006 and feature a young lineup with three sophomores and a freshman in the starting nine. South Umpqua was 4-4-1 against playoff teams this season and the two teams did not face a common opponent.
South Umpqua High School is located in the community of Myrtle Creek south of Roseburg and several of the Lancers players play legion ball in Roseburg in the summer. O'Malley, one of the longest tenured baseball coaches in the state, has announced his retirement at the end of the school year.
Tuesday's game will be broadcast live on SportsRadio 1230 ESPN, with pregame coverage starting at 4:20 p.m.
